They have stated in their license CLEARLY that they are using LGPL code. This is not in question. The issue is that they are not releasing the code as the LGPL mandates. This is the problem. If anyone bothered to read the source material on wiki.winehq.org/parallels they would know this. The issue is not Parallels violating the code.

This is the issue. So they are violating the LGPL anyway by not releasing the code on request. This is the problem.

I did buy a copy. While a bit slow, it does the job for what I'm doing now; I hope in the future there are speed enhancements. More concerning than speed enhancements though is that I just saw this article from a Digg link: "Is Parallels violating the Wine LGPL?" http://babygotmac.com/a/is-parallels...g-the-wine-gpl Was the library code modified, and if so, when does Parallels plan on releasing the source to the modified library code?

Who's going to foot the 100K + legal bill to force them to release if necessary? So you take them to court and get them to release the code back. Very unlikely you'd recover any 'damages' or legal fees for you efforts. Yawn. Licenses are only as good as your ability to enforce them. Who’s going to foot the 100K + legal bill to force them to release if necessary?

Yawn.
